NToN SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISERS

March, France will be actively in the mar
kets as purchaser. Add to all this, as we
stated last week. there is Belgium, Holland,
Germany. Switzer land, Italy, Spain, Portugal,
Greece and other countries, all having bread
supplies to buy which will swell the one hum
dred millions of bushels that may be fairly
stated as the shortage of the United Kingdom
and France into increased proportions. The
problem Is working itself out. There are not
eighty millions of bushels of surplus now in
all the exporting countries available for the
wide-extended shortage as 1t exists more or
less is all the countries named.
As vigorously as the fight has been made at
Chicago. a reaction took place again on the
22nd and restoration to almost the highest
figures obtained during the season, was the
result. Our Stanton buyers, as are our pro-
ducers, are interested in a steady market, and
it is to be regretted that it is otherwise. 1t
would be steady but for the rash speculation
at the chief grain center of this country, where
there may be required an immense delivery
in May at figures which wheat Is now worth
in actual transactions.
The offerings by our producers are light, and
the market firm. Good wheat is selling for

quotations for prime during the season.

Another Enterprise Organized.

About fifteen years ago, DIR. John P. Hale, OF
Charleston, West Va in studying the problem
of reet-pavements,-about which there has
always been any number oftheor1es and gene
rally but little satisfaction, for no matter what
plan might be adopted. the benefits were more
or less temporary,-thoughtt the following plan
would make solid, dry durable, and economi-
cal pavement
First. the street should he graded as desired
with its elevations and depressions forming
base just as the surface should be when the
pavement should be completed, then to lay
upon it a few inches of sand. follow that with
boards of uniform thickness first saturated in
coal-tar or other preserving liquid. Upon that
spread another coating OF sand, and then, in
uniform manner with edges up, lay vitrified
blocks of clay in herring-bone style, and cover
the entire surface again with sand, when the
pavement is ready for service.
DIR. Hale, associating friends with him, OBJ
tanned patent and his theories were tested at
Charleston twelve or fifteen years ago. 1t ap-
pears the government of the city was entirely
satisfied with the pavement, its durability,
cleanliness and freedom from many objections
all other substitutes were liable to, and in ex-
tending the paving of the streets adopted this
style, which has proven, with Its utility and
ss serviceable than Matchmaking or any other
process in use for that purpose.
This plan has been submitted to the Quarter
masters Department ofthe United States Army
for the pavement of stables and yards. and
meets approval. Any number of engineers
who have Investigated its merits approve it.
and others, observing its practical workings,
as well as the economy of construction. testify
to its merits. Among these are Coi.H. D. Whit
comb and Messrs. w. S. SUNNI ers. and w. G.
Reynolds, who have been City Engineers of
Charleston.
General Thomas L. Rosser. who has acquired
contractor, Investigated the merits of Dr.
Hale's theory. and having confidence in it,
was willing to enter into the organization of a
company for prosecuting the enterprise. This
association was formed with Major r. "a. Cat
lett as President; Gen. Rosser as General
Manager Major Jed Hotchkiss. Secretary and
Treasurer; and Major 81. NJ. Bell and A. N.
Howison with them in the directory. The
office and headquarters of the Company are
located at Staunton, with ample capital to
push the enterprise.
General Rosser has entered into this scheme
with all his energies enlisted in it, and is now
on a tour in the North and Northwest for the
purpose of introducing 1t. His associates are
gentlemen well known for their business
qualifications, and giving TO their enterprise
the thought and effort commensurate with its
value. large success must follow.

Facts Worth Knowing

In all diseases of the nasal mucous mem
orane the remedy used must be non-irritating
The medical profession has been slow to learn
this. Nothing satisfactory can be ACCOMPLISH
ed with douches, snuffs, powders, syringes,
astringents, or any similar application, be-
cause they are allirritating. do not thoroughly
reach the anected surfaces and should be aban-
doned as worse than failures. A multitude of
persons who have for years borne all the wor-
ry and pain that catarrh can affiict, testify to
radical and permanent cures wrought by EIy's
Cream Balm.

No EXTRA SEssIoN.-The Washington
correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette
says:
Prominent Virginians who talked with
Governor Lee, of Virginia, who was here
last night, say that he gave them to under
stand that he did not intend calling a
special session of the Legislature of his
State, as he had no recommendations to
make to such session if it were to assem-
ble."
Possibly the last coupon decision of the
Supreme Court of Appeals, and the fact
that the Revisers of the Code are not ready

Governors decision. Dispatch.

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY IN TEXAS
FORT WORTH, TEX, Jan 23.-At three
O'Clock this morning, as the last bound
Texas and Pacific express was pulling out
of Gordon, a small station go miles west of
here, two masked and armed men jumped
on the engine and covered the engineer and
fireman with their revolvers.
The engineer was forced to pull ahead
until the train reached high trestle two
miles east of Gordon. AS soon as the en-
CINE and baggage and mail CARS had passed
over the trestle the train stopped, leaving
the passenger coaches on the trestle.
At this point the masked men were REIN
forced by six assistants. The robbers then
went through the express car, taking all
the money and valuables in the safe, the
amount being estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 The robbers then proceeded to
the mail car, where they obtained twenty
eight registered packages. The passengers
